Collettivo Mazzulata is an Italian band formed in 2007 by initiative of Gio Rossi, musician and composer well known in the field of jazz and blues music for his collaborations with world-class musicians like Joey de Francesco, Sugar Ray Norcia, Tad Robinson, Alex Schultz, Maurizio Pugno and many others.

Gio started to choose musicians of different age and different music styles, combining their music experience in a unique genre that the band calls “Ratafolk”, a mix between italian traditional folk and many other different styles, including salsa, zydeco, blues, rock and roll, jungle and so on. The result is a crazy and creative combination of rhythm, grooves, melodies, colours and ideas which seems to arouse enthusiasm in the young and the older generation, mixing all them together into a strange and variegate audience.

The name “Collettivo” indicates the main aim of the band, which is to develop his own music mixing italian culture and new ideas coming from all over the world. At the moment 10 musicians are working at the project, even if the typical line-up counts seven people on the stage.
